FVS 31: HOW TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE YOU ADMIRE

3. INCREASING YOUR STRESS CAN MAKE YOU HAPPIER

  • In short, trying to master a new skill, or striving to accomplish a huge goal, will definitely mean more stress now — but it also means greater happiness later.

  • When you accomplish whatever you planned to do today in pursuit of a longer-term goal, you feel good.

  • Make your goal extremely specific.

  • Make your goal personally meaningful.

  • Make your goal a positive goal.

  • Set your goal — then forget your goal.

  • Focus not on the goal, but on the process.

4. WATCH AND LEARN (a TED talk)

  • Why the Secret to Success is Setting the right Goals — John Doerr   I have shared this piece a few times with friends. It is a quick watch on why OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) are crucial to success in life and in business.

He taught the founders of Google this framework when they were still starting out in their garage. And today Google is a Mega Corp.

Watching it again, I went back to my company’s OKRs for the year and it inspired me to re-write it in a more inspiring way that makes me wake up and run.

5. WHAT IM READING

  • The Power of Positive Thinking, by Norman Vincent Peale

  • Dr Peale demonstrates the power of faith in action. With the practical techniques outlined in this book, you can energize your life — and give yourself the initiative needed to carry out your ambitions and hopes. You’ll learn how to:

· Believe in yourself and in everything you do · Build new power and determination · Develop the power to reach your goals · Break the worry habit and achieve a relaxed life · Improve your personal and professional relationships · Assume control over your circumstances · Be kind to yourself

Was a strong refresher for me!  Reminded me to never take a passive emotional state for anything I’m asking for. Reminded me to want it strong and put every emotional desire forward. Reminded me to be expectant. Reminded me to believe I’ve got it already.

Thank you, Dr Peale.
